Your Own Pet Lamp, The "Tvor" [Video]


Okay, so maybe the "Tvor" isn't actually a "pet lamp" but it does have the ability to seek out dark areas of a room and point light in that direction, automatically. The only problem with that is once it directs light into that area, the areas around it are now dark, so the thing just wonders around in an endless mission to light everything up. Hell, if they would just ditch the directional lighting AI and add remote control compatibility, the lamp could be pretty awesome. Damn, I can see the potential! I mean, it looks so awesome doesn't it? I want one!

Star Wars Motorized Walking AT-AT By LEGO [Video]

LEGO Star Wars Motorized Walking AT-ATI don't know about you, but I love me some Legos and this Star Wars motorized walking AT-AT really caught my eye. It can walk the walk and talk the talk while looking very sexy at the same time. You can buy yourself one for about $218 on Amazon and on the Lego site you can buy one for even cheaper, however, they currently are sold out for the United States.

Attack Of The Coca-Cola Vending Machine Robot [Video]


Okay, Wtf? In this Japanese video there is a Coca-Cola vending machine robot that likes to blow crap up and protect the nation from evil. Seriously, this is obviously a commercial, but what are they trying to portray? Coca-Cola saves the day? The video series was created in Tokyo back in 2007 as part of a promotional campaign for Coca-Cola. They also had a man in a suit that walked around town scaring away small children.

Ghostbusters Trailer Gets Inceptionized

Ghostbusters [Blu-ray]The job description of the Ghostbusters is usually quite obvious. However, the job market isn't the best these days and that means the Ghostbusters are looking to expand in anyway that they can. That's why, in this video trailer you can see them in action with the added suspense of Inception music. Who would you call if you had some ghosts living in your dreams? Now you can call the Ghostbusters! Enjoy!

Santa Has A Rocket Ship?

You don't really believe that Santa with his little reindeer's can deliver toys to all the children of the world overnight do you? Well, if you do, I have some bad news for you! Santa and his reindeer's are obsolete! Santa needs to step it up a notch to keep up with the world's growing population. That's why, this year, he ditched the reindeer's and tried out another way of doing things. A rocket ship! Sorry Rudolf, but your nose just ain't that bright anymore!
